Product Reviews

I absolutely love this lens, I bought it in 2019 and I got a few good years out of it. When functional, the image quality is crisp and the ease of use is amazing. Unfortunately I got one of their defect lenses, where the focus breaks and no longer focuses. I read that there were many lenses in this model with this exact problem so I contacted Sony to get a replacement. Unfortunately they did not help me. When spending almost 3,000$ for a lens you expect it to last you a very long time, as it's a big investment. I love Sony's products, I have been a loyal customer for 10 years, but very disappointed in their service.

It's good enough but it's not 65% better than its competitors as its price suggests. Sometimes I wonder about its corner sharpness. It has a good weight. The focus ring could have a better feel to it.

Great for landscape and Northern Lights. photography.

It was not cheap in price but worth every Penney of it. I use it for selling my advertising for newspapers and magazines. I tell clients Will Rogers said I never met a man I didn't like. I say I never took a picture that you are not going to like!

I bought it about one year. it is my every day using lens. Absolutely my favorite!

Very sharp lens great for landscape and architecutral work.

I’ve own this lens only for a month but I can say I love it! The last of the trio I needed form Sony

I sold my lens and then discovered that I could not do without it so I purchased another. I use it for street photography to capture the environment and subject, astro and landscape photography. I've found it's not a lens I use often but when I need it, it's invaluable. I'm very happy with the sharpness of the lens and its low light capability. Wish list, I would like it to be lighter in weight.

Although I have all the GM prime lenses within the 16 to 35 range, I wanted the flexibility of a zoom for certain shoots. I was really surprised how sharp the zoom was.

I need a lense with quality glass, speed and super quick auto focus, that helps the camera in low (flashless) light. Usable in 90% of shoots both indoors and whilst doing Landscape Photography

Started taking beautiful photos after making my conversion to Sony.

Beautifully crafted lens producing sharp images across the focal range

成像銳利，兼擁有大光圈 F2.8 優勢，室內拍攝尤為合適，但鏡身較粗壯，對外影工作構成不便，售價亦偏高。

I purchased the lens ~ 3 weeks ago. It's my first full frame lens. I'm absolutely satisfied with it!

I bought this lens two month ago, and it is great.

Excellent build quality, producing fabulous detailed photographs.

My lense failed me in the middle of an event. Thank God I had some other lenses to continue working but hey… this is a very expensive lense and I had never a problem with Zeiss.

Superb image quality from the GM lens (my first one ) Expensive but when I use in low light I know what I paid for !

The lens itself is a work of art. Very nicely put together and works amazingly with the A7Siii body.

After 40 years as a Canon shooter I have made the big leap over to Sony mirrorless and am not looking back. I was slow to make the switch due to the dozen lenses I would ultimately want to replace. But I have been impressed with both the bodies and lenses. This lens is no exception. It is remarkably sharp and quick to auto-focus. Love it.

以同級大廠鏡頭來說，此鏡實為物超所值，影像質素、價錢及重量，均為首選, 變型程度輕微, 配合A7M4，對焦速度及重量平衡都十分滿意。

So far so good. It’s very smooth and sharp images.

I've recently switched to Sony, and I bought this lens as wide-angle lens. It is fantastic piece of gear that I cannot suggest highly enough. Both the feel of the device and the pictures are amazing. It is sharp to a fault and it's great for high focus/boken effect.

Really happy with the results that this wide angle lens has provided... excellent picture quality is maintained at high levels of cropping. It's a small feature but the lens hood clicks into place so is harder to fall off like other lenses. All round, very happy with this purchase and look forward to using it more

A wide lens that's also useful to leave on your camera and use day in day out.

Sony 16-35 f2.8 gm lens is very sharp and high quality in both video and stills works great on Sony a7iii body and other Sony mirrorless cameras,also great for gimbal shots at events and weddings

I didn't use wide angles (more than 24) before I had this lens I was amazed how sharp it was great blend would't be without it 35 is one of my favourite focal lengths so it is extremely versatile

I bought this one and at the same time I purchased non native 28-75mm Way sharper, faster to focus.... love this lens and will eventually go back and replace my non native to a native lens

So happy with this lens! I've only had it a few months but I use it all the time.

It’s not the newest of Sony’s GM lenses but it stands the test of time due to its superb optical and build quality. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase – it’s a flexible and high quality addition to your kit bag for producing razor sharp images close to a prime in quality.

This is an excellent example of the popular 16-35mm range lens that most manufacturers produce. The Sony example is super sharp, fast, and simple to use. Solid, no movement, a seamless extension to the body. Love this lens.

-風景拍攝必備, range 合適 -層次分明 -當平日出街的標準鏡也可以,夠快 -上山下海都十分輕便

Amazing glass, one of the most interesting lens I use

I really do like this lens a lot. I do a lot of backpacking, so size and weight are an issue. Most of my landscape shots hover right around 24mm in focal length, which makes this lens perfect. I also really like taking Astrophotography Landscapes, and again, this lens performs very well in that department. Overall, I am very happy with it. If I had to knock one thing, and maybe this is just life of a 16-35mm, so it might be a mute point. I rarely do focus stacking when shooting, my preferred method is to get back further and use more of a telephoto, say around 50mm, which obviously I can't with this lens. So when I am up close I sometimes focus stack, and I noticed this lens has a lot of "Focus Breathing." Since this is my first 16-35 lens on a full frame camera, it just might be the way of a 16-35. I have nothing to compare.

我買了這支鏡頭功能機好！由超廣角到廣角夑形控制表現很好！但就鏡頭邊縁清色度就差小小！如果中心和邊緣一樣清色就好啦！此外這支鏡頭沒有必要做到82mm濾鏡！77mm就詥當！再改用合金（如多用鎂或鋁造鏡身就好，實在太膠啦！)

Excellent image quality, strong focusing performance,

Good piece of glass. Switched over from Nikon system and the 16-35 was one of the very first lense to pickup.

掛機常用鏡頭，配合SONY A4R4高畫質， 成像銳利， 人文風景建築首選！ 體重稍微有些重，但是有品質保證。

Sony fe 16-35 gm is Very good and Great quality lens

Have problem after 2nd time I use. It’s expensive, but quality is bad as compared to my others lens which use more than 1year have no issue so far. The price is doubled, but quality very bad. I send back to Sony to repair. feel very disappointed as it is quite new but need return to repair. I hope Sony can exchange to a new one in this case. I can’t understand if no quality issue, how come have problem only after 2 month I bought this product

16-35全焦段都十分出色，2.8光圈的畫質驚艷。雖然價錢較貴，但物有所值。一直有使用Sony的GM產品，全部都十分滿意。

Lovely lens, very good image quality across the range and lovely out of focus areas for wide angle portrait work. Lighter than expected.

On a trip I was capturing a 209sec long exposure, which is my average LE. When I returned home and began reviewing my images, I found what looks like hot pixels throughout my image. I have never seen anything like this before. I was using a 6 stop ND filter, which I have many times before with this lens and other lenses, but I have never seen this on any other images.

我由7R一代用到第四代，總共用了七部7R系列相機。帶着Sony相機，攀過高山翻閱雪山，輕巧方便。有高水平解像力。

Very versatile. Very wide. If you can afford it buy it.

Superb lens and no distortion. light and perfect for holidays.

I purchased the lens 2 months ago and I am absolutely in love with the product. Sharpness is second to none, handle is amazing, build quality is great. It is one lens that will never leave my camera bag. Thank you Sony.

I changed to sony about a month ago and found the lens very very sharp

This is my go to lens for Landscapes and indoors architectural work. It replaced my 16-35mm F4 Sony-Zeiss (which is a fantastic lens). I believe Sony knocked this lens out-of-the-park and as long as I'm using the Sony system; this lens will always be in my camera bag. It's super sharp corner to corner and amazing build quality. It is pricey though!!!

以變焦鏡來說, 光學質素很高, 不算太重, 亦不太大, 價錢算是合理, 適合作為風景、電影拍攝用途, 旅行必備.

鏡頭銳利、可作近攝用，這個度非常適合旅行之用，我今次出外主要都是用這鏡頭，其餘遠攝或影雀鳥就用100-400己經夠。

成像接近完美, 散景柔美,AF 快速. 在功能上希望第二代可以加上功能環和鏡頭LOCK. 擔心用長了會鏡頭垂頭.

This picture that comes out of this lens is remarkable. It looks better than when I took it. I’m very impressed.

影日光下的黑白相片及晚上的夜景相片無論反差及效果相當不俗 加上有2.8光圈值不用腳架靠手托着影夜景相片也沒有問題

Excellent wide-angle lens with Superb picture quality!

Purchased this Product a month ago and it has given me excellent results. Crisp Images

So pleased that I chose this super wide angle zoom lens

I wanted a lens which would cover very wide angle to just below normal. Some of the images I took had such edge sharpness I had never seen on my previous brand. The 2.8 is nice for low light situations and is a fantastic for astro photography. This lens lives up to the hype. The only misgiving is the bezel with the name and lens configuration has fallen off twice. There was a recall on this lens based on a series of serial numbers and it was turned around so fast I was flabbergasted. Great lens: great service. Very happy I switched to Sony

REnted one and then bought one.. Excellent optically, not too heavy nor too large, and used screw-on filters. Yay!

I bought this for use in landscape and it does not Disappoint. I’ve also used it in remote camera situations in sports and have been impressed beyond words. As far as I am concerned, GM glass all the way!
